Hello, hello, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice show.

It's Thursday. I'm Rob Shooter. Every Thursday, our friend Mark Lupo joins us. Lupi, are you there? Hey, Rob. Hey, Louie. We had a little trouble this morning getting online, didn't we? But we figured it out. And here we are. Here we are. So we have a lot of gossip today. But before we get to it, I'm going to be on Access Hollywood Live today, Mark, their daytime show with Mario Lopez and his dimples. He's so cute. And Kit Hoover, remember her from the reality? I love her. I love her. I think I'm gonna wear my purple sweater, my lucky purple sweater. Do you have things like that in your life? Like, I'm not nervous, I've been on a lot of times. It's a great show, but I think I need a little bit of luck. Rob, I can tell you this. I always see you on TV, and you always kill it every single time. So no doubt today will be the same. You're so sweet. Thank you. I'm plugging my book. Did I mention I got a book. I say, I'm, everyone's so sick of this book. It's not out till September, but you can pre-order it now.

So I'm going to go on today, plug the book, do a bit of royal gossip. I like that show. You know, it's like when you walk into someone's house. When you walk into a show or even zoom in, you know immediately what the vibe is. There's always good vibes at Access Hollywood. Isn't that interesting? One of my best friends, Emily, is a producer there, and she is exactly how you're describing the show of really just a happy special person. Yeah, it's a great place to be. And it comes across on the camera, too. So when you watch it in your living room, you can tell that's a happy show. You just feel it. It's like when you were at the Wendy show. Wendy's a fun show. Backstage, it's like a party. I love it. Oh, I've been on some stuffy shows, Mark. I know you have. Some very stuffy shows. But you're a professional. You have to, I know. Well, I walk in and I know, I know immediately if I can be full Rob Shooter or if I have to take it down a notch.

Like when I'm at CNN, I've got to take it down a notch.

Just one.

Just one notch.

Just one notch.

Okay, let's get on with our show.

Hey, Mark, what time is it?

It is tea time.

Do you think Mario Lopez will scream tea time?

Maybe.

He's fun.

So cute. Ask him. So cute. So cute. Oh, and that Kit Hoover, I do like her. Okay, let's get into our show. Big exclusive at the top of the show. Megan Markle and Chrissy Teigen have become really close. Some are even saying best friends. So Chrissy Teigen was very coy. A couple of days ago when she was talking to Andy Cohen,

she casually slipped in that she's spoken to Megan Markle. Boom. Now, the two of them, though,

who used to be models together on deal or no deal, that's how they met, are much closer than

they are letting on. I hit the phones and my sources told me the following.

They've become very close. They speak all the time on the phone and they've developed this deep

bond very, very quickly. Megan has an entirely new group of friends since she met Harry. We've

seen it, Mark. She's got Oprah, the Clooney's, even Elton John, and they've all welcomed her in with

open arms. They've been lovely. But Chrissy knows deep down that before she met Harry, Oprah and

Gail and the Clooney's were not exactly that interested in her. They could have called her.
